"is doing well'? I think one month and one country doth not success make. We can say Xb one did well in June in the USA, and that gives some hope for ongoing performance. But it's way to early to say "is doing well" as some kind of ongoing pattern.

eh maybe it isn't doing so good and maybe it is. Sales aren't the most important factor. We will find out properly in about 4 days when Microsoft release their latest financials

Without sales there's no revenue and without revenue there's no profit and without profit there's no company. So sales are the most important factor. But the most important factor in sales is profit margin. And the financials in 4 days will tell us what we already know. Xbox is a very small piece of MS revenue and profits, and given Xbox 360 remains the driver of software revenue for now, and probably has better profit margins on the hardware the extent to which Xb one is contributing to Xbox division's profits is going to be small.
